[xxx], houston, tx 3/3/2012 the problem began on february 15th while I was on my way to teach. I was in stop & go traffic due to an accident ahead of me. As I pressed the accelerator to move a bit, the car did not want to move, and then it hesitantly moved forward a bit, I stopped again because of the traffic. While sitting, the engine began to hum and when I needed to move forward again, the car would not move. I tried taking it out of drive and then putting it back in drive, but the car would not move. Because of another incident, I had it towed to a shop for some bodywork to be done; after picking it from the repair shop, I was on my way to the airport when the same problem of hesitation started again. After returning from my trip, I called the honda dealer where the car has always been serviced and told them I was bringing it in. I had to pull over several times while driving to the dealership because the car would stall; after pulling over several times and waiting a few minutes for the transmission to work again; I finally made it to the dealership. After the service department checked the car out, I was told that I would need a re-manufactured transmission; cost for this was $4,458.00 which seemed pretty high. The service rep said honda does not rebuild the transmission on your car because of the level of difficulty in getting to the parts, so they recommend a re-manufactured one which comes with a 36,000 mile warranty or 3 yrs. In the city of houston, 36,000 miles racks up pretty fast. This is a lot of money to spend on a problem that honda has yet to fix.
